Free Adulting Classes KCMO. An 18-week, trauma-informed program to help you build actual stability. No fluff. No judgment. Just the toolkit you were never given.
Mind the Gap.
You are here because you fall in "The Gap." You have a job, so the system says you don't qualify for help. But wages are low, rent is high, and you're too exhausted to figure it out.
We don't just teach "budgeting." We teach survival in a red state. Our curriculum is built on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, adapted for the ADHD brain.
- Trauma-Informed: We understand freeze responses.
- Nervous System First: Based on Polyvagal Theory.
- 100% Free: For 18-34 year olds in KC.
